Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the Smith & Wesson M&P 5.7 unique?

The M&P 5.7 features a proprietary 'Tempo' gas-operated rotary barrel system. This system delays cartridge extraction until the bullet passes a gas port, significantly reducing felt recoil and improving reliability with the 5.7x28mm round.

How does the M&P Shield Plus in .30 Super Carry compare to the 9mm version?

The .30 Super Carry Shield Plus offers higher ammunition capacity (13+1 or 16+1 rounds) while delivering ballistics comparable to 9mm. However, .30 Super Carry ammunition is currently less widely available than standard 9mm.

What are the advantages of the M&P FPC folding carbine?

The M&P FPC is a 9mm carbine that folds for compact storage and transport, allowing optics to remain mounted. It shares magazine compatibility with M&P pistols and includes storage for spare magazines within the stock.

What is the speaker's assessment of the M&P 10mm Performance Center model?

The speaker highlights the M&P 10mm Performance Center model's ported slide and barrel, which effectively mitigate the substantial recoil of the 10mm Auto cartridge, making it more manageable for follow-up shots.
